just wondering, i have seen the prior years rock honors shows on vh1, but this will be the first one i have attended.

i was just wondering if there is anyone who has been before that knows how long each band get. i'm assuming it will be about 30 minutes each or there abouts.

    here is some info from rolling stone



    http://www.rollingstone.com/rockdaily/index.php/2008/07/07/daltrey-reveals-flaming-lips-pearl-jams-plans-for-the-whos-rock-honors/


    This Saturday Pearl Jam, Foo Fighters, the Flaming Lips, Incubus and Tenacious D will play tribute to the Who at VH1’s annual Rock Honors concert in Los Angeles. The Who will close out the night with a 40-minute set that may include the first live performance of The Who By Numbers track “Slip Kid” since 1976, though you may have to actually be at the venue to hear it. “What they use on the TV will probably be the same old stuff,” laments Roger Daltrey. “They’ll probably just show ‘Won’t Get Fooled Again,’ ‘Baba O’Riley’ and ‘Who are You?’” Daltrey also revealed the Flaming Lips are working up a Tommy medley and Pearl Jam will likely play “Love Reign O’er Me.” “It’s gonna be weird having them play Who songs while we’re there,” says Daltrey.

    Proceeds from the show are going to multiple charities, including the Teenager Cancer Trust — an organization Daltrey has been involved with for years that builds hospital wards for teenagers with cancer. “We have found by providing an environment where teenagers can be together sharing their illnesses and experiences we are getting between a 15 and 20 percent improvement on the medicine,” Daltrey says. “It’s strictly a psychological effect.” To raise more money for the TCT, Daltrey and Volkswagen are raffling off a 1965 VW van customized with the Who’s logo and signed by Daltrey and Townshend. 5£ submissions are accepted until tomorrow.

    I just assumed each band would play one song ... and then the Who would close with a few.

    You may be right. That article said the Who would play 40 minutes and I am sure that includes the grand finale with everyone... I bet at the most we get two songs from each band....
    Also I wonder if they will be re-takes since it is being taped for TV...

    Whatever... it is going to fuckin epic and I am pumped up for Saturday night...
